Amazing little spot, my only regret was getting in too late to enjoy more of it. My brother and I stopped in on our long road trip to visit family, and it was perfectly set up. The shower was awesome. Such a beautiful creek and a really lovely setting. Can’t wait to come back!

This was my very first hipcamp experience and it did bot disappoint. A lovely area for camp! Marcus has a porta potty on site and a propane heated shower! The creek was sooo beautiful and relaxing. Marcus came down and said hello with helpful info like how to start the propane fire ring (no burning of firewood in Oregon) which was a wonderful addition to my experience. A beautiful serene site and I recommend this to campers who crave the outdoors - with a few thoughtful comforts. Most excellent experience!!

Marcus’s camping site was exactly what I was looking for and needed! I loved the beautiful setting next to the creek, within view of a covered bridge reminiscent of ones near where I lived in Maryland on the East Coast, and secluded from the main house and any traffic noise…a perfect setting for my solo weekend away.

Site is beautiful with a nearby creek. Shower and water had yet to be set up for the season. If I had known ahead of time, I would’ve planned appropriately as we had planned this stop to shower/clean up. There is video surveillance at the site, which I understand and is posted, but it felt a bit creepy as the cameras were not in view and we weren’t sure where we could dress without being seen GPS (Apple Maps) is not accurate for this address. .

The creek is so peaceful. The spot was easy to find and communication with Marcus was smooth. It's a cute spot with a nicely clean and well stocked porta potty. I recommend it for small groups or solo travel. It was so beautiful at night taking in the stars and the string lights. Solar lights light up the path.

Forested creekside campsite
It was conveniently located just off I5 as stated by others. We had a quiet & peaceful night and morning. There is a nice little walking path that my dog appreciated. The bridge lights weren't on which kinda bummed me out as I would have liked to see it lit up, but I was glad they were off as soon as we settled in. Shower was disconnected for winter, but I love the idea and want to borrow it on my own property! I didn't use the firepit, but it would be nice for a group. The campsite isn't totally level and is down a steepish hill. If there was a lot of snow I might be concerned about getting out. All in all we had a great 1 night stay and it was exactly what we hoped for when booking.

Close to the main road but very quiet. Nice ambience with the string lights and sounds of the creek. Saw a few deer during my stay. Happened to be rainy during my stay but the big trees offered some cover and the covered bridge was another nice place to stay dry. Bathroom was clean.

Very comfortable and beautiful campsite. Don't forget a sleeping pad like me! Unless you have a hammock, you'll be pitching a tent on (level) gravel! On-site porta potty and propane shower, as well as a propane fire pit.

The space was gorgeous arriving after dark, (though make sure you bring enough lighting, the stairs can be a trip hazzard if youre not careful) and absolutely beautiful to explore in the morning. My pup loved the close creek access, the beautiful bridge, and the fun little nature trail. The facilities were clean and though I didnt have time to use the shower it was nice to have available! Private, safe, beautiful, and exactly the stop we needed on our drive north this year! We will be back! Thanks Marcus for being so responsive and helpful answering questions, the descriptions were thorough and helpful! My last piece of advice is just check for gravel in your tires as you leave, I had a little trouble with some extra sharp ones getting stuck on my way out.

This is one of the best settings (creek, spacious, PRIVATE, charming, clean, fire pit, large picnic table, warm shower, cleanest toilet) and it is beautiful. The covered bridge is cool and super sweet lit up at night. You are also not far from Grants Pass to treat yourself to a meal. We are foodies. We had breakfast at Ma Mosa’s on our way out of town. Highly recommend (if you go on the weekend plan for a possible hour wait- it is worth it). Marcus was friendly and checked-in to make sure we had what we needed.

We had a pleasant, but short stay at Marcus's spot. It's a sweet little spot right on the river not far from I-5. It's in an in-between spot on I-5. Great place to take a break from the road without having to interact with , we'll, anyone! Highly recommend. Be sure to bring your own chairs to sit on.

This is our second stay here and we love it. It is very secluded and private. Our dogs love the creek and there is enough area for them to explore. The bridge is very cool and there is a nice path across the creek for a short walk. This spot is off the beaten path yet very close to Grants Pass. It was nice to have the outdoor shower and there is a porta potty if needed. Marcus is a great host. This will always be our spot when we come to Grants Pass!

Nice clean site, easily accessed from Hwy 5. It was the perfect place to spend the night as I traveled along the 5. Marcus is a welcoming host. The covered bridge is a bonus and my dog loved playing in the creek on a warm afternoon. Just lovely.

My kids and I absolutely loved staying here. We played in the creek, got to see tadpoles, lizards, snails, fish, and crawdads. They have never seen any of that before. Marcus was good enough to come down after work and bring us a new propane tank for the fire pit. He's super friendly, and we're looking forward to going back again soon.

Falling asleep and waking up to the babbling creek is ethereal. The site was private, quiet, and invigorating. The boys had an amazing time playing in the creek and walking around the nature trail. We saw western fence lizards, western skinks, two crayfish, a crayfish exoskeleton , tadpoles in every stage of metamorphosis, snails, and frogs. The porta potty, shower, and potable water were extremely convenient. We will definitely return. The boys were asking when we can return before we had reached the main road.

The campsite is beautiful and quite private, despite being a short drive from I-5. The port-o-potty was the cleanest I've ever seen. We didn't try the shower but it looked similarly well maintained. However during our stay the logging noise started very early and the yellow jackets were relentless during mealtimes!

We enjoyed our stay on Marcus’s property - very peaceful setting with sound of creek flowing and quiet. We crossed his trestle bridge to a nice loop hike on the property. Toward the back of the loop there is evidence of logging on the neighboring property, but this is completely obscured by forest on Marcus’ property. We loved how close it is to the highway exit, without any highway noise. Hope we can return on future trip to Oregon
